2016 Postmortem

(67,112 posts)40. What I find so pathetic in the US is the level of ignorance by so many. Many just can't seem to

The US constantly muddles in the SOS. Definitely, the Pharma/Health industry is one of the greatest ripoffs. Often in the US it's like the gangsters are making all of the decisions for the country. If one looks at the wealth distribution curve for this country it's deplorable. What often strikes me as so peculiar, is sometimes those with the least vote in those wanting to take even more from them.
